G'vt accused of 'abandoning' residents

Chief Minister Howard Quayle says a plan to bring stranded Manx residents home will be announced on Monday.

It comes as many have criticised government for 'abandoning' its own, by enforcing strict border measures during the coronavirus lockdown.

Speaking at yesterday afternoon's media briefing, Mr Quayle said the comments "couldn't be further from the truth":

Mr Quayle also gave an update on the latest figures:

As of 4pm yesterday, the total number of confirmed cases of covid-19 on the Isle of Man stands at 114.

Four people are receiving hospital treatment.

Since Thursday's update, two patients have been admitted to nobles, and one has been discharged.

Total number of concluded tests stands at 1,243, and they're awaiting the results of 60 more.

We're expecting the latest update at around 10am this morning.
